The frame is a semi-perimeter steel structure having oval and box tubes and a steering angle between 26- and 28-degrees. The advantages of this new frame are that it permits a very advanced riding position with ergonomics designed to make riders of varying statures better fit into the ideal riding position, both while sitting and standing on the footpegs. Steering "stoppers" are new and positioned on the frame. Footrests have been moved forward by 15 millimeters. The aluminum engine guards and frame guards have also been redesigned to be more compact and light. The tank has been modified and is mounted both on Motocross and Enduro models. The rear suspension is completely new, with a brand new link, new swingarm and a new offset Sachs shock absorber, revised for new progression. The new rear suspension has been designed with the intent of reducing the load on the frame which is lower by 40-percent compared to 2007 models. The new shock absorber has an 18-millimeter piston in place of the previous 16-millimeter type, with more oil flow thereby offering improved adjustability. New is the sub frame, reducing by 2.2 pounds the assembly of rear frame, seat and new airbox. The new design of frame / suspension allows for a straight air inlet duct with notable benefits in terms of air intake.
